Polymorphism in object-oriented programming is the capability by which an object is able to take on numerous different forms. Polymorphism is used mainly when a reference to a child class object is made by a parent class. In Java, each and every object can be polymorphic since they can all pass the IS-A test easily. This is because an object is said to be polymorphic when it can successfully pass the IS-A test.
